ABSTRACT
Multiple primaries are defined as more than one synchronous or metachronous cancer in the same individual. They can pose challenges to clinicians, as the goal is to find an anticancer therapy strategy that covers both cancer types without increased toxicity or drug interactions, and does not negatively impact a patient’s overall outcome. At JADPRO Live 2022, presenters tackled this complicated topic by reviewing diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, and risk factors, demonstrating the prioritization of treatment, and discussing the role of the advanced practitioner in collaborative, interdisciplinary management of the patient with multiple primary tumors.
